This follow-up report is submitted to fda in accord with applicable regulations. upon further investigation of the reported event, the following information is new and/or changed: h6 (identification of evaluation codes 10, 11, 3331, 3259, 25).Method code #1: 10 - testing of actual/suspected device, method code #2: 11 - testing of device from same lot/batch retained by manufacturer, method code #3: 3331 - analysis of production records, results code: 3259 - improper physical structure, conclusions code: 25 - cause traced to manufacturing.The returned sample was visually inspected and no anomalies were noted.It was then connected to the circuit and the saline was circulated with a centrifugal pump.Air bubbles were observed from the small o-ring that provides the air seal between the curved venous inlet port and the reservoir lid.This confirms the reported complaint.Disassembly of the venous inlet found that the o-ring was not seated properly, allowing the air leak to occur.A representative retention sample from the same lot number was also circulated in a similar closed-circuit set-up and confirmed to not draw in air during circulation or after being stopped.It was also visually inspected with no anomalies before or after the flow test was conducted.The cause of the event is a partially seated o-ring within the curved venous inlet port connection into the venous reservoir lid/housing.The o-ring creates an air-tight seal to prevent air from being drawn into the reservoir during circulation.All available information has been placed on file in quality management for appropriate tracking, trending, and follow-up.
